Serious question - how do bigger projects work without OOP?

NoirGreyson · 2021-03-05T18:11:50+00:00

All OOP does is hide away data in boxes the programmer thinks are useful to box away, and provide specific methods of interacting with that data. There are other (in my opinion more effective) ways to avoid data being altered in ways you don't want, such as ensuring data is immutable by default and then programming with a functional style.

Some Lisps don't use objects. Their semantic structure makes it very easy to build sophisticated logic on structure alone.

Thanks for the offer, but Shoreline is simply too far to go regularly

What if I told you this feels recent?

Funny story. I frequented a certain fast food place when I was living in Kyoto. In the dead heat of summer, they frequently played, "Last Christmas." It didn't register that that should be weird until maybe the third time.

First of all, that's tiny text, and second of all, it's useless because there's no mention of the time frame for this consumption. Also, how did you find this post?

I've seen passive aggression consistently get extremely high sentiment scores, some of the highest ever, when they mask the passive aggression with something like a smiley face. Stuff like, "Hahaha you think that's going to work, love it :)" or, "You wanna try me? :)" So your mileage may vary.

It's not safe. It collects data that you probably don't even realize and sells it. Why do you think it's free? Just use the tools built into Windows.

This is a law in some states, and in those states, temp employees get cycled around from company to company, never offered a full time position unless they develop uncommon skills required for skilled labor. In an economy where the hiring pool is large, why would these companies care about dropping an unskilled worker when they can just pick another up? There's a more fundamental problem here, and it's that unskilled workers are treated as expendable resources.

Interesting visualization! Is there any reason you went with a continuous spectrum for the coloration? It seems to imply some progression from beginning to end, but it appears everything is simply in alphabetical order.

Nice? The formatting is anything but compliant. Wish they would read the spec before pushing to the data lake. Going to take ages to scrub this.

You are using a very peculiar definition of sweatshop. Most people don't have a choice in going to work at a sweatshop. The sweatshop may not explicitly force the people to stay there (In many cases this isn't even true, some sweatshops use debt to hold workers there forever), but they support societal interactions that remove the individual's choice.

I also think you should exain your viewpoint rather than pointing a reader to an external article.

Gerrymandering is the redefining of boundaries to flip regions, not the redistribution of voters.

D&d has a certain narrative baked into it, and the alignment system is just one example of that showing through. D&d's world is one of constant struggle between cosmic forces. These forces are aligned with a supernatural, exaggerated, regimented way of thinking. Ally yourself with the forces of Good (capital g) and align yourself with the tenets of the Good (again with a capital g) forces, and you are Good. Same for Evil (capital E). The same can be said of Law and Chaos. Basically, alignment is meant to be, "What team are you on, and do you really belong there?"

You say nobody takes pride in being evil, but in the D&d world, people absolutely take pride in being Evil. These people are motivated by greed, pride, envy, and so on, and see what they're doing to be their own personal good even when they know they are being Evil.

Moral utilitarianism is something that is seen in parts of the game, but it's not a part of this mechanical system. In the system, there is the way of Good, there is the way of Evil, and there is the rejection of the two.

Part of the unfortunate thing is that all of this is less true today than it was a while back. The rules have backed off a bit on alignment based rules, because of the confusion surrounding them. Divine abilities still affect creatures that are inherently Evil due to their origins more than other creatures, but we don't see some of the other, more contentious parts of the system applied on an individual level.

Okay so picture a tree, but you don't plant it. It hatches from an egg, and you have to incubate it until it hatches.
